Fraternal twins occur when two fertilized eggs are implanted in the uterine wall at the same time. When two eggs are independently fertilized by two different sperm cells, DZ twins result. The two eggs, or ova, form two zygotes, hence the terms zygotic and biovular.
Identical twins occur when an egg splits into two; which makes them identical. Identical twins are not hereditary like fraternal twins can be. It is complete coincidence.
